In today's addition of "Two Intellectual Idiots Fostering Political and Cultural Literacy" Dan, Corey, and Bel "The Bodysnatcher " take YOU, the disenfranchised or politically homeless sane person into:

1) The drone strike that killed 3 US Troops and injured many others in Jordan this week. Why the secrecy around the event? If you think about it for a minute... it makes total sense.

2) The Legacy Media is officially on life support with very little hope of being revived. And it's dire! Now you have to get your news from "basement bloggers" and "dirty, racist, bigoted podcasts" like Joe Rogan... or Libservative.

AND MORE....

EPISODE 152: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:41) SPECIAL COMMENT: New government document in a separate January 6 case filed yesterday, sworn under oath and under penalty of perjury, confirms that by September 2021 Jacob Chansley and his attorneys were given all but 10 seconds of the J6 video Carlson showed last week. Carlson's claim that Chansley and his lawyers had never seen the video, is a lie. Carlson's claim that it was "withheld" from Chansley and America, is a lie. Carlson's claim that they were sightseers, is a lie. Carlson's claim that it's a false flag, is a lie.

Tucker Carlson is a liar. What's worse: he could be guilty of Obstruction of Justice.

Because what has this all been about? This was Kevin McCarthy providing Tucker Carlson access to the materials with which to lie, gaslight, and whitewash. He did all three things. This is a conspiracy to turn guilty perpetrators of insurrection, coup, and violent attack on the Capitol during the official transfer of power, into victims - and the victims into defendants. And THAT is called "Obstruction Of Justice."

B-Block (20:47) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Yay Capitalism until its speculative bank fails then it's Yay Socialism. At least it shuts up Junior Trump. Mike Pence talks tough against Trump but still won't lift a finger to stop him. And Tom Hanks broke my Cummerbund at the Oscars. (24:23) IN SPORTS: DeSantis's brilliant idea to get a hated tennis player arrested, MSG's Jim Dolan vows to win alcohol fight (it'd be his first win) and what sportscaster solidarity can do: BBC's Gary Lineker has brought the UK's fascist government to its knees. (30:50) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: On the other hand, the UK mailed in its uniforms for the World Baseball Classic. The House Freedom Caucus's debt limit demand includes...Defunding the police? And why DeSantis needs to read every snowflake first.

C-Block (35:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: My Dad died, 13 years ago today. But instead of telling you some somber remembrance let me tell you about something he did that, 47 years later, still strikes me as the epitome of selfless parenting and still leaves me speechless. Oh and it features me meeting Howard Stern when he was 20 and I was 15.

What made the internet angry this week?

Kate Donnelly joins the podcast this week. “Little Kate” is half of the Sober Kates and they have a podcast called The After Party. Everyone quickly summarizes their social standing in highschool. Kate calls out Dale for not adding her on instagram 1 year ago. No-one knows what Twitter Blue is but it doesn’t matter because paying for twitter is dumb. A New York Times article said that half of the people you consider friends do not actually view you as a friend in return which is terrible and everyone is sad. If you're spending too much time on twitter there might be something lacking in your IRL life. Dale has been pronouncing the word “genuine” wrong his entire life. Also Superfluous. What did we learn about friends during the pandemic? Kate admits she thinks 911 is a conspiracy and Dale is delighted to talk about conspiracies. A journalist named Ken Klippenstein tricked high-profile Republicans into retweeting a picture of JFK's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, in military uniform. Dale can’t remember James Franco’s name. The problems with flirting. The guys explain the CFL to Kate because the Edmonton Eskimos have been renamed the Edmonton Elks. Naomi Osaka withdraws from French Open, takes break from tennis citing mental well being after she was told if she didn’t do press conferences she would be fined. Do porn stars get feedback? Usher has herpes. Dale tells Kate about Project Bluebeam. Does anyone actually understand Bitcoin?
